Joyful Dogs of Michigan

I have a beautiful German Shepherd. He needs lots of attention and I was feeling very out of my comfort zone with his training at home. He was very protective of me and would react towards other family members. He is an alfa male and it shows. It is my 3rd visit at Joyful Dogs of Michigan and I can say my dog is now acting more like a warm cuddly pet. He has manners, listens to others in the house. Actually listens. He now knows the sit, lay, stand, shake, and come all with almost perfect obedience. Beth has taken the time to teach me so I can teach my dog. I am building a beautiful relationship with my hansom boy. He is much happier and so are we. Thank you so much Beth for all that you do!

Extremely helpful with us and our dog. He behaves much better now. The price of training is also one of the most reasonable in town. If you need help with a dog you should definitely go with her

I was referred to Joyful Dogs through Bark. Please do your research before you hire Beth Licht. Her fees are exorbitant compared to other dog trainers in the area. I paid her $850 for 6 private lessons whereas other trainers charge $360. She is unorganized and inconsiderate. She didnt send me any information or contract prior to my first visit but expected me to sign and pay within minutes of my arrival. To this day, I havent received a complete copy of what I signed. She canceled the second visit and said she would call me the next day to reschedule, which she never did. I had the dog for 14 days when I was regrettably forced to re-home him due to safety concerns for my 3 year old granddaughter. I had ONE visit that cost me $850!!! Beth would not consider any negotiation for a partial refund of any kind. I asked if she would kindly accept 1/2 ($425). She said the contract states NO refunds! Apparently, she doesnt have any compassion or consideration for unfortunate situations! Just NO, NO, NO. Please shop around for a cheaper and kinder dog trainer!

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE! I could not be more pleased with my experience. Beth did an exceptional job working with my dog, Grover. He's a very intelligent Golden Retriever who needs direction and boundaries. It's been a rough year for both of us. I underwent treatment for breast cancer and he had bilateral elbow surgery. Once he recovered from surgery, I just didn't have the energy to work with him. I sent Grove to live with Beth for a 2 week board & train. She kept in close contact with me about his progress and his happiness. Having him stay in her home made me feel confident he was getting lots of love and attention. After 'camp' Grove has a good grasp of the necessary commands and I continue to work on refining his obedience. I highly recommend Joyful Dogs of Michigan!
